SEBASTAPOL REBUILT.
Restoration to Its Former Importance of
the Famous Crimean Town.

Restoration to Its Former Importance of
the Famous Crimean Town.
AT the present rapid rate of restora-
ton the historic ruins of Sebastopol
will in another twelve months have
given place to entirely new structures.
The population of SebastOpol ten years
ago was some $4,000, it is now closely
approaching 10000. These figures
sufficiently indicate the rapid develop
ment of the new city and port which
is destined to become the headquarters
of the powerful Black Sea fleet now
being created. 1t was in 1884 that
Sebastopol was founded by the Rus
slams under a ukase of Catherine II. on
the site of the old Tartar settlement
Akhtiar; but Nicholas was the first
Car to invest the place with any i'm
portance as a naval and military port.
After the eleven months siege during
the Crimean war there remained stand
ing intact only fourteen buildings.
Subsequently the Government. with a
view to promote the commercial devel-
opment of the port, granted an annual
subsidy to the city of 100000 roubles.
This subsidy, with railway communica-
ton with the interior, gave first and
successful impulse to the commercial
port. Now, however, the Government
is intent on making Sebastopol its
greatest southern naval headquarters.
1t has this great advantage over all
other Crimean ports, that its naviga-
ton is never closed by ice. Last year
139 British steamers entered and load
ed at Sebastopol. Sebastopol has dur
ing recent years developed into a very
pleasant watering-place, more especial
ly since the completion of the new
Marine boulevard and n number OF
bathing institutions. The yearly-in-
creasing number of summer visitors
and tourists have given rise to a num-
Der of large, well-equipped and COM
modious hotels Cor. Chica0O Iilncs.

SUBMARINE cARLEs.
The General Plan Adopted for Laying ant
Insulating the Wires.

The General Plan Adopted for Laying ana
Insulating the Wires
One of the problems of early attempts
to establish submarine telegraph lines
was to secure an effective mode of in
sulating the wires The first substance
used that seemed at all adequate to the
purpose was gutta percha, and this, it
was found, must also be protected. A
cable insulated with an outside coat of
gutta percha simply was laid between
Dover and Calais in 1850, and worked
one day only. The following year
another cable was laid between these
two places, in which the wires, after
being insulated with gutta percha,
were protected by an armor of ten
heavy wires. This is still in working
order. The general plan of making
submarine cables Is much the same.
In the first place, if more than one con-
Quoting wire is used. each must be in
sulated from the others. Copper wires
are employed, and each one is coated
with two or more concentric layers of
gutta percha. These are then laid to-
gether for the center strand, and about
them all are laid at least three-more
often four-layers of gutta percha, and
besides. between these layers, pecu-
liar insulating compound, composed of
melted gutta percha, wood-tar and
rosin is applied. which not only pene-
trates into the pores of the gutta percha,
but also by its adhesiveness unites the
layers with each other. Before these
layers are put on the wires are tested
to make sure that they are free from
| defects, that their conducticity and in
sulation are perfect. Around the gutta
percha layers a wrapping of tarred
hemp. technically called the bedding,
is placed. This hemp is in strands,
| and by the use of a machine made for
| the purpose the strands are spun
| around the cable. After the core has
been covered with hemp it passes
| through the arnOring machine, by
| which the outside covering is put on.
| This is either of fine iron strands, spun
| into wires, or iron wires covered with
hemp, or copper bands. 1t is neces-
sary that deep-sea cables should be as
light and at the same time as durable
| as possible. At first heavy iron sheath
| ing was used, but it was apt to break
in deep water, and therefore the wires
were substituted. Though cables must
be made stronger for deep-sea water
use, because of the pressure upon them.
| in the shallower water near the coast
they are more liable to injury from ice
bergs, the anchors of vessels, and the
| attacks of sea animals. For this reason
the. shore ends are provided with a
| heavier aT-InOT. than that uSa1 for fha

The Sea Salt Craze.

The majority of our readers will re-
member the bue-glass craze which
ragged so furiously in 1912. The
manufactures of blue glass reaped an
enormous harvest, and people who
never allowed the sun to shine upon
them before permitted its beams to
reach them through blue glass hung in
convenient southern windows. There
are some indications that another craze
is coming to take the place of blue
glass and the more recent Juror for hot
water. The latest is the consumption
of sea salt or rock salt from Turk 5
Island as a cure for nearly all the ills
OF the body. The craze has reached
Utica and is travelling this way. Sc
far, the sea salt eaten in season and out
of season has been found to cure con-
sumption. dyspepsia and kidney diff
Guilty, headache and general goOd-for-
nothingness--ROc Democrat.

THE TRANQUIL HAReoR.

No waves rise here from sweeping gales,
When clouds hang threatening, wild and DARK
No moaning winds strike frozen sails,
And anchoredsis the weary bark.
The vessel lies at tranquil rest,
Secure against the tempest blow,
With peaceful waters round her breast
And dreamy sunshine in its flow.
And so the grave receives the form
OF those whose road and toll have ceased;
Where comes no cloud nor furious storm,
And hearts from trials are released.
No winds disturb this quiet port;
No thunder jars this calm retreat;
No cannon blaze from hostile fort:
L No warlike ships with frowning meet.
Here Anger never deals stroke;
Here Envy never stabs with hate;
Oppression brings CALLING yoke;
Ambition breaks no hindering gate.
Here Guilt comes not with ashen fears;
Here Pride struts not with naughty eyes;
No Sorrow bends with scalding tears,
No Hardship prays for smiling skies.
Here rest. the wealthy and the poor;
Here sleep the humble and the great;
Those who have knelt on cottage floor,
Those who have shone in royal state.
Here come the mighty and the weak;
Here drop the towering and the small;
While rivers flow and planets speak,
The grave receives and equals all

A Little World in Strange Contrast to the
Busy Life of This Century.
In these days of railroads and tele-
graphs it seems impossible that any
civilized people can be cut off from
newspapers and post-offices. But the
little island of Kilda. north of Scotland,
has regular communication with the
mainland only once year. The agent
of the owner visits the island once a
year to collect rents. and carries with
him a package of letters and newspa-
pers. There are now only six families
on the island, composed of seventy
three persons, and the number is grad
ually diminishing. Their fare is made
up of barley bread, eggs and sea-birds-
Fish abound in the waters, but the
islanders do not like them as food, and
catch them only for sale. They weave
rough clothing and blankets, ard sell
them to pay rent In the summer they
cultivate gardens, collect birds and
eggs for winter stores, and fish for
trade. But these poor people. while
fighting a hard battle for life, are COLI
tented with their LOT. Crime and in
temperance are unknown among them,
and courts are never held. All the
Adults are members of the Church of
Scotland, and know large part of the
Bible by heart. A minister resides
among them, and holds regular service
on Sunday and during the week. This
little world is i'll SIT ange contrast to the

THE FIRST HOMICIDE I'm TAY-
I.OR.

A woman At the Bottom Of It
Hugh Karnahan Charged with
the Murder Of Oeorxe Fox at q
Mouse Of Ili.Fame Christmas
Morning.
White Pine Nsscs.
When the pesceable residents Of Taylor
came down town Christmas morning they
were Mortified TO learn that a foul murder
had been committed o few hours before,
in q den of i'll reputs near Chinatown, oc'
cupied by q woman named Hazel Rivers.
Repairing to the scene ct the summons oil
Coroner Carpenter, the News reporter met
q most CHASTITY sight. Lying on the floor
in the single-room cabin, was the lifeless
body OF George Fox. An examination OF
the premises showed that both bodily
force and deadly weapons were used to ef-
feet an entrance to the house. The lower
panel of the door had been knocked in
aud two bullet holes perforated the door
| One OF these--the upper, and that which
| doubtless did the deadly work-was made
by the pistol being put up against the door
and fired, a. ell around the hole was
powder. burnt. The lower bullet went
through the lower panel and did NO harm,
being after ward found on the floor. An
other pistol ball, which must have been
fred from the inside. was found imbedded
in the wall, back Of the door casing, which
in all probability was fired by the woman,
rs she had powder smoke on her hand.
There was nothing to show that The dead
man had any arms on him at the time he
was killed, though the woman says she
gave him her pistol. All the indications
go to show that K~arnahan, or some one
else, tried to force the door in, and that
Fox was standing against il TO prevent
any one from entering, when the fatal shot
was fired. A light was burning In the
room at the time and the outside party
could see through the broken panel the
movements OF any n inside, 30 there can
be no doubt that the outside party knew
he was shooting with fatal effect. These
facts were plainly shown at the inquest.
George Fox, who came to so sudden q
death, came here from Frisco, Utah, about
five weeks ago, and was working in tbs
Argus mines. Those who knew him say
he was q quiet, industrious, peaceable
man, we'll liked by all who knew him. He
was a member in good standing OF the A.
o. U. w, Of Frisco.
Hugh Karnahan, who is charged with
the murder. has been in Taylor some time.
He tended bar at the Brewery saloon last
Summer, but was working in the mine of
late. We knew him in Eureka eight years
ago when he tended bar for Charley
Lautenschlager. Before this he had many
warm friends in Taylor and was we'll
thought OF. He had a preliminary .exsmi-
nation before Justice Carpenter Monday
and Tuesday. and was held over without
bonds to await the action Of the Grand
Jury. He was taken to Hamilton Tues
day by Sheriff Bassett.
